My fiance's experience with the London Embassy was painless. We believe the key is to have all your 'ducks' in a row with the intitial paperwork (the I-129F). If you've submitted everything there, they oftentimes don't even ask for the truckload of documentation we've all taken with us to the Embassy. They tell you to bring originals of everything that was in your I-129F packet. We did and everyone does and you should. One never knows when they might ask for it but from ALL the interviews I've read unless there were special circumstances, they didn't even ask for it. They asked Steve for his Passport, 2 US size passport photos, VISA bank payment receipt, his sealed medical results envelope (NO XRay needed), his police certificate, his marriage and divorce certificates, the Affidavit of Support from me and just gave a cursory look at all the backup documentation I provided for that, .. didn't need ANY of our 'proof of relationship' or any of the original marriage divorce stuff I sent .. that was IT! It really is pretty painless there and for the most part, they are very very friendly and seem to want to approve you. They don't grill you or make jump through a bunch of hoops. The only thing on the down side I have to say about the London Embassy is that it seems some of the staff aren't sure which que folks belong in. If you're there for K1 or K3 and you are directed to a VERY long que, they've sent you to the wrong one .. the K1-K3 que is very short compared to the other one ... tell them you are there for K1 Interview .. Immigrant visa!
